Brighton-based artists Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt, known together as Semiconductor, have collaborated on what they call “digital noise and computer anarchy” since 1979. Their video Magnetic Movie was screened in the Hirshhorn’s Black Box video gallery in 2008 and is now part of the permanent collection. This year, they return to the Hirshhorn as recipients of the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (SARF) and will screen three of their short films as part of Hirshhorn After Hours on Friday, October 29. DCist spoke with Semiconductor about their work.
